Committee introduces measure to extend outfitters exemption to private postsecondary institutions
Summary
RS31873 was introduced to make private postsecondary institutions that are accredited equivalent to public institutions for an exemption in the outfitters and guides chapter of Idaho Code; the committee approved introduction and referred it to the second‑reading calendar.
Representative Britt Raybould (R-34) introduced RS31873, a resolution that would add private postsecondary institutions to an existing exemption in the outfitters and guides chapter of Idaho Code.
"It says explicitly a public or private post secondary educational institution accredited by an organization recognized by the State Board of Education is exempt from the provisions of the chapter," Raybould said, directing members to lines 32–33 of the draft. He described that public institutions and their employees had historically used Idaho Code §36-2102 to claim exemptions when conducting curricular field trips or guided training trips, and that the proposal would create "equivalency across the board for any postsecondary institution that is accredited in Idaho as it relates to licensing."
The motion to introduce RS31873 passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided in the transcript. Vice Chairman Shepherd said he would reserve detailed questions for the bill hearing, noting this was an RS hearing and prefacing more substantive inquiry at the formal bill hearing.
The committee did not take final action on licensing language at this meeting; the measure was introduced and referred to the second‑reading calendar and will return in a bill hearing where staff and members can examine statutory interactions with Idaho Code §36-2102 and licensing rules.
